Kelsea Ballerini ditched her signature long hair for a fresh lob.
Country singer, 29, took to her Instagram on Friday, July 21, to proudly display her fresh new hairstyle. In the selfie, Ballerini radiated under the sunlight with her shoulder-length locks elegantly framing her face. Her hair was neatly parted down the middle and styled in playful beachy waves. Completing the look, Ballerini added a touch of soft glam with gold necklaces and wore a strapless white top.
“They say out with the old, and in with the new,” she wrote as the caption for her post. Friends and fans flooded the comments section with praise for Ballerini's stunning makeover. Celebrity hairstylist Marissa Machado expressed her admiration, saying "I'm absolutely in love with the short hair! It's fun and flirty!" while Kristin Cavallari simply commented "Cuteeee!" Ballerini's boyfriend, Chase Stokes, couldn't contain his excitement and commented, "I'm doing great. I'm totally fine. Nope, not fine at all."

In January, Ballerini and Stokes, aged 30, were first seen together at a college football game in Los Angeles. Confirming their relationship on a February episode of "Call Her Daddy," Ballerini mentioned how her manager suggested Chase as a potential partner. Intrigued, she took the initiative and messaged him, starting with a simple "Hi Chase Stokes" on his Instagram handle, "hichasestokes."
Earlier this month, a reliable source told us that Ballerini and Stokes have an incredible synergy due to the enjoyment they find in each other's company. The source also emphasized that their relationship is drama-free, allowing them to fully express themselves.
While their relationship holds great depth, the source clarified that there are currently no immediate plans for engagement.
The duo made their relationship official three months after confirming their divorce settlement. Ballerini discussed the difficulties of her divorce, admitting to experiencing hair loss. However, she mentioned that her hair was growing back slowly.
Ballerini and Evans, 38, met in March 2016 while cohosting Australia's Country Music Channel Awards. They got engaged less than a year later in December, and then married the following December. Despite their efforts to sustain their relationship, Ballerini filed for divorce in August 2022, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason in court documents.
